There is quite a lot on both of those blogs, so I'll have a read and comment at some point over next few days.

By the way.

Interesting that you have randomly contacted me now, because at the end of this very month I will be in Sweden for three weeks. I shall indeed be visiting Stockholm, amongst other places.

It is a city I'd love to live in. It is a city that would make sense to me. There is something about Scandinavia that makes sense to me; I feel it in my blood.

Perhaps, why, the only significant real love in my life, for 6 years, was a Swedish woman. Probably the only woman that really knows me, and even more importantly, the only woman that has ever really wanted to know me.

Oh - and can I say that I love your "Sonnets for Katie" epic poem[s].

I read it - and actually, understand completely, in fact, I know.

Heidegger, as bewildering as he is, is actually at his most readable when he becomes unreadable.

His is the language of that which cannot be accurately described by language.

Will look into the Atterberg symphony. Interesting enough, a complete set of Atterberg's symphonies on the CPO label is on my buying list. I love discovering little known and neglected composers.
